Pegula comments on Trump

Actually, you dont support free speech 100% because your are now putting limitations on when and where it's acceptable.

 

CK didn't break any laws or even any league rules when he chose to kneel for the anthem. He had his reasons and it was only a problem when the point was twisted by the public and a certain person on Twitter who took it to mean something else. If people have a problem with CK using his position as a QB in the NFL to support a cause, no player should be allowed to. Players supporting local food bank, or underprivelaged kids, or hospitals, or illnesses shouldn't be allowed either then. They shouldn't be allowed to mention or thank god/jesus in interviews. They should just shut their mouths and play their sport. Then everyone can stay happy cause nothing would change and everything would stay the same......

 

It's all about free speech until someone says something you dont like.

Some may see what he is doing as respecting his country more because instead of just sitting back and accepting it, he is doing something to try and make it a better place for all Americans, not just the white ones. And maybe the problem is (if you believe he is disrespecting the flag) that the country the flag represents is not respecting him and others that are a part of it by not treating them as equals?

and, maybe, people disagree with him, feel his perspective is the the wrong one, feels he shouldn't protest where he does, or feel whatever else they have a right to feel. 

 

which brings us full circle to why the owners have an issue that is concerning enough to have a secret meeting about, which reveals the reason many business owners probably would prefer their employees to do things on their own time, away from the office. 

 

and I read comments like those attributed to Chris Long about ck being on a roster.  long has little skin in the game beyond this brief flicker of time where he is playing the game.  He loses little, if anything, if things get worse for the nfl, or any particular team in general if they sign ck and revenue is impacted.  I'd personally be more impressed with a guy taking a stand putting his money on the table.  Make a statement, grab 5 or 6 of the highest paid guys on the team, set up a press conference and offer to pay ck's market value by renegotiating their contracts. Forces the owners hand, makes a REAL statement on how they collectively see the world, and the importance of supporting the players right to do whatever he wants in the stadium. Heck a great message would be to make him the highest paid player in the league.

Look up the stats. Keep watching CNN snowflake 

 "Snowflake." Kinda dated, don't you think. At least your choice of " commie" has a cute, retro feel to it. Can "fellow traveler" be far behind?

Oh look it's this type of thread again. Shocker.

 

Well time to point out yet again that police kill twice as many white people as blacks. They kill more unarmed white people than black people too. All the liberal (racist, anti-white) media outlets don't ever show when a white male is killed though.

 

Also black people murder white people at a far higher rate than white people murder black people. Blacks are 27 times more likely to attack a white people too. Again no outrage from the media. 

 

Liberals hate facts though. They also hate white people (more specifically white men).

What the **** does this have to do with Pegula's comments?  Preoccupied much?

Yeah don’t mention that there are 247m whites to 37m blacks. So 210m more whites and yet police have killed 457 whites to 223 blacks. Wanna guess how many blacks would be killed if there were 247m of them?

You made this thread with a blatant agenda. And your fellow lefties on here are doing what you always do.

 

I think it's pretty clear, by your inability to stay on topic, that you are the one with a blatant agenda.

Police also encounter more black people than white people because blacks commit more crimes. Yet white people are being killed by cops twice as much.

 It started with CK and then spread. After it got to be somewhat common with some players on most teams Trump brought it up. Thems the facts. BTW, this conversation has no place here, and It should have already been moved to PPP.

CK knelt during the anthem a few times and a few players followed and joined him. It got attention in the media and then the president chimed in with his tweets accusing him of disrespecting the country, military and flag which poured gasoline on a bonfire that's leading to burning an entire forest down. Had the president not chimed in to rule up his fanbase, this all would have blown over

What was the topic? For you to keep taking cheap shots at Trump and basically his supporters and expect Trump supporters to lie down to your nonsense? 

 

I swear there's at least 10 of these threads every month started by blatant race baiters like you.

"All Donald needs to do is to start to do this again.  We need some kind of immediate plan because of what's going on in society.  All of us now, we need to put a band-aid on what's going on in the country."  - Terry Pegula on Trump targeting the NFL.  

 

Pretty interesting stuff.  Pretty obvious that the owners were disgusted with Trump's divide and conquer approach.

 

 

 

Exactly how is Trump Dividing people. Enlighten me please???? 

Can you give examples, not just rhetoric?

You can literally go to the OP if you are confused by the topic.  That's how a message board works.

It is asking a lot for people to stay within the lines...

It absolutely is. Which is why this needs to be moved to a place where this type of conversation is accepted. This forum is for productive football discussion, NOT a place where we all get emotional arguing and insulting each other baselessly.

 

Where's the Batsignal? MODS, TIME TO MOVE THIS!

If kneeling during the anthem is such a good thing then why would you want it to be blown over?
